Deuteronomy 19:1
|
|
When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations,
whose land Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest
in their cities, and in their houses; |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:2 |
|
thou shalt set apart three cities for thee in
the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:3 |
|
Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and divide
the borders of thy land, which Jehovah thy God causeth thee to inherit, into three
parts, that every manslayer may flee thither. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:4 |
|
And this is the case of the manslayer, that
shall flee thither and live: whoso killeth his neighbor unawares, and hated him
not in time past; |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:5 |
|
as when a man goeth into the forest with his
neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down
the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbor,
so that he dieth; he shall flee unto one of these cities and live: |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:6 |
|
lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer,
while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him
mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in
time past. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:7 |
|
Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt
set apart three cities for thee. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:8 |
|
And if Jehovah thy God enlarge thy border, as
he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to
give unto thy fathers; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:9 |
|
if thou shalt keep all this commandment to do
it, which I command thee this day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk ever in
his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, besides these three:
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:10 |
|
that innocent blood be not shed in the midst
of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood
be upon thee. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:11 |
|
But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in
wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally so that he dieth,
and he flee into one of these cities; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:12 |
|
then the elders of his city shall send and fetch
him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may
die. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:13 |
|
Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt
put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:14 |
|
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark,
which they of old time have set, in thine inheritance which thou shalt inherit,
in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:15 |
|
One witness shall not rise up against a man
for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of
two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:16 |
|
If an unrighteous witness rise up against any
man to testify against him of wrong-doing, |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:17 |
|
then both the men, between whom the controversy
is, shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be
in those days; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:18 |
|
and the judges shall make diligent inquisition:
and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and have testified falsely against
his brother; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:19 |
|
then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought
to do unto his brother: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
|
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:20 |
|
And those that remain shall hear, and fear,
and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 19:21 |
|
And thine eyes shall not pity; life shall go
for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. |
